  1. Read "Driving While Black"
  2. What errors of human inquiry do you believe are involved?
  3. What are your thoughts on ideology and politics regarding this piece?
  4. How may racial profiling address additional topics?Racial profiling of drivers on the nation’s streets and highways became a prominent issue in the late 1990s. Concern was fueled by compelling stories of minority motorists stopped by police for minor traffic violations, then subjected to aggressive questioning, searches, and even arrest. One of the most highly publicized examples involved:

     

                    “…Robert Wilkins, a Harvard Law School graduate and a public defender in Washington, D.C., who went to a family funeral in Ohio in May 1992. On the return trip, he and his aunt, uncle, and 29-year-old cousin rented a Cadillac for the trip home. His cousin was stopped for speeding in western Maryland while driving 60 miles per hour in a 55-mile-per-hour zone of the interstate. The group was forced to stand on the side of the interstate in the rain for an extended period while officers and drug-sniffing dogs searched their car. Nothing was found. Wilkins, represented by the ACLU, filed suit and received a settlement from the state of Maryland. (Ramirez, McDevitt, and Farrell, 2000:6)

    What came to be known as “driving while black” generated a number of lawsuits and eventually legislation at the state and federal level. The underlying question was whether police traffic stops targeted African American and other minority drivers in a discriminatory way. Because the U.S. Constitution prohibits law enforcement officers from discriminatory behavior based on race, allegations of racial profiling generated a number of legal challenges and court cases.

    By their nature, lawsuits  revolve around individual cases, such as that of Robert Wilkins, and whether evidence of discrimination was present in Wilkins’s encounter with the Maryland State Police.
